The verdict

Public Works runs at 256% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical City Government Municipality workplace, earning a grade F.

Public Works: 8.2 TCR = 256% of City Government Municipality BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Works safety composite

Public Works scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 8%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to North Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #91 safest of 105 City Government Municipality employers in North Carolina.

Public Works (88 employees, TCR 8.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 93 employees and a TCR of 4.6

Public Works has fewer employees than the City Government Municipality median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.6. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
